This course
discusses the use of radiation within the dental office. It has been projected
that the use of CBCT imaging in dental offices has doubled in the
last 20 years. With this increase in usage, radiation exposure
to the patient has also increased. The increase in radiation requires
the dental practitioner to adhere to ALADA, or As Low As Diagnostically
Acceptable. This concept states that the dental practitioner only take images
that are required to diagnose a potential problem. The Low Dose
Radiation Protocol can effectively reduce the radiation exposure to
the patient, while allowing the diagnostic image to remain the
same quality as a regular radiation dosed image.

The use
of CBCT in orthodontics has been a topic of much discussion
and controversy, specifically, with regard to radiation dose and public health concerns.
Ultra Low Dose CBCT technology is now more than ever a
viable and recommended option for clinicians due to the decrease in
radiation exposure to patients. Because of this, clinicians must
begin learning to use this technology and become comfortable with
the manipulation of and workflow with 3D volumes.

To survive in harsh environments, humans in ages past had
to rely on both reason and snap decisions. Because our world and lives are
so complex, so do we. We couldn’t function if we stopped to make all
decisions on explicitly rational bases. Yet our ability to act on
experience and insight also sets us up to make predictable errors in leadership
decision making. This course examines the risks and suggests ways to prevent
errors.
